“I love how organized and easy the VIP Design Day process was for me. I have a lot going on in my business so sometimes it's hard to be available to respond and collaborate on things but Stephanie did an AMAZING job of prepping for our time together. We had an organized list, she was super thorough at making sure I had got everything over that I needed to and everything went so smooth!"
"Stephanie delivers the whole package. You don't just get a logo; you get a whole put-together look. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie as a brand designer. If you’re on the fence about working with Stephanie - just go for it. It's worth the investment. You'll be able to attract your ideal clients more effectively, you'll be more confident in the way your brand looks, and your business will thrive."
- Mary Rose Maloney, Foster Parent Coach
“Stephanie was a pure pleasure to work with on my Brand Identity Design. She listened to exactly what I wanted and was truly able to bring it to full fruition. She understood when I sent weird, jumbled notes, and she was able to untangle my requests into a beautiful representation of my business. So grateful for her!”
- Danielle Abele, The Silver Linings Group
"Stephanie is such a great guide and designer to help make your website dreams come true, even if technology isn't your best friend!
I never thought I could handle everything that goes into starting an online platform, but Stephanie gave me the encouragement, support, and creative ideas I needed to get my therapy practice branding off the ground! I have learned so much from Stephanie, she truly goes the extra mile and willingly answers all your questions, no matter how basic!"
- Melanie Spurgeon, Memphis-based therapist
"I love that I can assign a project and Stephanie reliably solves the problem without having to be micromanaged. I love knowing that I can hand over a project and she will use her experience and judgment to bring the project to a successful completion.
You don't have over-explain things. She just gets it. She has the experience to understand the project's scope, the professional drive to make it happen on time, and the skill to implement the solutions I need. Her experience with a huge range of tools means that she's efficient and focused, leading to a great outcome for each project. Highly recommended!"
- Ginger Davis Allman, The Blue Bottle Tree
“If you are looking for help with marketing and website tasks for your business, I can't recommend Stephanie Duke enough! The VIP Design Day process was not only seamless and successful, but fun as well. She knocked out my wishlist and then some! She was honest with her time, letting me know that she was finished but still had more time if I wanted her to complete more tasks. ”
- Dana Lewis, DWD Travel & Destination Weddings
Every custom website is just that - custom. So the exact process we follow will vary depending on your goals and needs, but every project follows these general guidelines:
→ After onboarding (contract signed, invoice paid, communication set up) you’ll complete a detailed questionnaire that will help me know exactly what to create for you
→ Up next, I’ll review your questionnaire and do some research of my own while you pin some website inspiration to our shared Pinterest board
→ Finally, I’ll condense all of our research, ideas, and inspiration into a shared document for us to go over on our strategy call - this is where we’ll nail down all the specifics and make sure I have access to all the links, assets, and passwords I need
This is where the bulk of the action happens! Wireframes, designs, revisions, and approvals.
→ After our strategy call, I’ll get to work designing one main page (typically the about or services page) and the wireframes for the remaining pages. This is done outside of Showit so you can approve the actual creative direction before I start building the site
→ Once you approve the creative direction, I’ll build the pages out in Showit
→ During the build process, I’ll send you preview links (actual clickable pages of your website!) for small approvals throughout the build. This makes the process go sooo much faster by preventing a ton of meetings
→ If clarification is needed or I need to further explain a design decision, I’ll send you a Loom video
→ Finally, once the design details are approved, we’ll move on to refinement
This is the time to help me polish your site so it’s launch-ready.
→ With the design finalized, we can go over little details like swapping photos, changing a line of copy, changing a CTA, swapping a link, etc.
→ This is also the time when we will test links, test forms, and do a QA (quality assurance) check on every page
→ During this phase I’ll also add basic SEO settings to each page, embed Google Analytics, pixels, and other fun nerdy tech things
Eek, we are so close to launching! The timeline of this final step in the custom website design process will again vary from project to project depending on if you’re migrating a blog, swapping hosts, getting a new domain name, etc.
→ Every custom website design ends with an in-depth training call via Zoom. This training will be specific to you and your website, not a generic Showit how-to
→ You’ll also get access to a full library of additional training videos for specific website functions
→ Lastly, we launch your incredible new site to the world!
This depends on you! A super simple custom website with quick communication may only take around 6-8 weeks, but a more complex site with a vacation taken in the middle may take 8-12 weeks or longer. I don’t recommend having a specific “launch date” in mind as this can cause unnecessary stress on you if the project is stalled for any reason. We want this to be a fun, relaxed experience for you!
I require all of my custom website design clients to have at minimum: a logo, color palette, font choices, high-quality photography, all copy in one place (a single Google Doc or multiple Docs in a Google Drive folder), and a Google Doc with all links/embed codes for systems like Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics.
A 25% retainer is required upon booking to claim your spot on my calendar. The remainder of the project cost can be broken up into 3 payments, with the last payment due before the site key is installed on your website. Any additional fees (fonts, templates, etc) incurred during the project will be invoiced with the final payment installment.
No, I am not a copywriter. You will either write the copy yourself or (my recommendation) hire a professional copywriter. It’s my opinion that if you are investing in custom website design you should also invest in copywriting for your custom site

I had a wonderful experience working with Stephanie, who graciously held my hand and walked me through each and every step of the process. Stephanie went above and beyond to explain everything, which was so helpful as I came into the process not knowing what I wanted. Stephanie provided tons of guidance, insight, and creative designs and inspiration for me to figure out exactly what I wanted and I love the finished product!
I love how organized and easy the process was for me. I have a lot going on in my business so sometimes it's hard to be available to respond and collaborate on things but Stephanie did an AMAZING job of prepping for our time together. We had an organized list, she was super thorough at making sure I had got everything over that I needed to and everything went so smooth!
Stephanie just had so much confidence in me and our project, so then seeing the vision that has been growing in me for the last three years come to life as Stephanie pulled the inspiration out of me has given me the support and encouragement I needed to move forward! I would absolutely recommend Stephanie's brand services to others! Her patience, her skill in educating people on how different web programs work together, and her kindness when I needed more time to get adjusted helped me believe I could do this!
